Subject: The "BOB" Helmet Theories (Bungie, give us a hint please!)

lolnope.

I reckon we are looking at the wrong theories, we need to come up with one that isn't so obvious. This is Bungie we are talking about after all, they wouldn't make it that simple. Think out of the blue.


Yeah, everyone here is herpin their derp. The theories that have been posted are way too off of the subject of BOBs. Like for example, the one about the skirmisher a few comments back. That skirmisher has nothing to do with unlocking that helmet.

Subject: The "BOB" Helmet Theories Thread (Seek and Destroy the BOBs)

I just did lone wolf on easy only punching/grenades, killing the Bob, and no shooting or sprinting but nothing was different afterwards. I did notice something, however. I wear the EOD helmet, and during the final cutscene, where it shows the helmet sitting on the ground, there is a hole in the helmet exactly where the eye is in the defiant helmet is.

Picture of EOD with hole here

Correlation? Maybe.

another theory could be to kill a certain amount of bobs
i think that in order to get the helmet you need to kill 77 bobs (77 seak and destroy medals) which is briefly described in the vidmaster challenge (i think there are 77 bobs in marathon)
if this theory was true it would explain why no-one has got it yet, i myself have only killed 33 and i kill every bob i find and hunt for them
suggestions?

77 bob theory is busted.



Anyone tried killing all allies?

It seems that the npc in the game that most resembles the bob from marathon, is in fact marines and odst.

Also I want to point out that they dont start shooting you after you betray them. (unlike older games)

worth a try?

I heard this was Sparta but I am obviously mistaken...

To be honest it might only be there because of the visor being too small, but it is something good to point out.

And yeah seriously I do feel the theories some of you are coming up with are a little off subject, but you never know here.

Try bringing multiple people into the hallway at a time so that people can spawn on each other and keep going.


You can clearly see the concrete area is empty, plus I've been on it, there is a huge kill barrier there.

Actually they do. Me and WPooney were killed on Exodus a week or two ago after they turned on us.

I cant help but think that button in the package mission that spawns 4 banshee's hasn't been fully explored maybe I'm wrong though.

On New alexandria I was playing co-op and my brother was killing marines. After 2 or 3 kills the marines on foot started to attack me, but the ones in falcons did not.

the white elite on sword base stands out from all the others. maybe he is special.

Idk why Bungie would have to make him like that... I mean... What's the problem? He's gold in the Package. But I think our concerns are around the Exodus and New Alexandria BOB

"The Septagon symbolizes all that is right in the multiplayer world. A few million men and women, bound by honor, Bungie, and celebratory crouching."

Considering the OP put "proof" in his 1st post, I find it strange that the brainwashed masses still haven't found anything out. That is just lame and proves everyone else correct, there is nothing, the OP has nothing, this whole topic is now 65 pages of failure.

Long may it continue tho, i'm loving the lolz. ;)

i agree alil bit!! its there but its no unlockable or it belongs to 343i members soo i think this is a waste for the helmet!! but i enjoy killing the bobs

  • 05.09.2011 2:01 AM PDT

dont let this die.

  • 05.09.2011 11:22 AM PDT

Meh pancake-mix.

We won't.

  • 05.09.2011 11:31 AM PDT

lolnope.

lol This thread won't die, but a lot of you are still herpin your derp. Think like Bungie guys.

  • 05.09.2011 11:42 AM PDT

ok how about if you run through the game only killing the 7 bobs you can see and that are gold and maybe the final bob kill in lone wolf will make a switch appear. it might be worth a try.

  • 05.09.2011 11:51 AM PDT

Things I love: Reach, RvsB, arbynthechief, and lolcats(lolz).

The Bobs must die!

shall we get another 4 team run-through/hunt going? whos in?

  • 05.09.2011 5:53 PM PDT

Probably nothing, but when the BOB on Winter Contingency spawns by the river side it spawns by a little electrical sign, and subsequently stops directly in front of another sign with a hallway behind it, with the fence locked.

Is it possible that we actually need to sky-jack the banshees? you said when they die there is no body so maybe you have to personaly open the banshee and throw the driver out.

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

o l ZoaEdK l o GT online Friday nights, Saturdays, and occasionally Sundays.....( being a dad means less time for games)

So nobody has killed the purple/gold elite in lone wolf after the onslaught of zealots? I have played in that level for hours on legendary, and there are more than one BOB, but near hour 3 1/2 it gets really difficult to stay alive, and the elite is impossible to kill.
